Happy Birthday Mom

Today is Mom's Birthday...It is also my Bridge Day...We will always share this day...

My furriends Ralhpie and TedEbear helped me with a couple of poems....

The Bridge Brigade quoted this one...

They that love beyond the world
Cannot be separated by it.
Death is but crossing the world,
As friends do the seas;
They live in one another still.

-William Penn


TedEbear and his mom helped me with this one...

I asked TedEbears' mommy to write you this note
She was very careful not to misquote
We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends
And be able to write without any pens

This birthday picture, she made for you, by hand
As I talked to her from the meadowland
I really didn't want you to cry
It will get easier as time goes by

Mom, I know how hard this day must be for you
I wanted to let you know, Love you I do
I'm so sorry I had to leave on your special date
But we never know just what is our fate

So I send you birthday wishes of love
And butterfly kisses from above
Till the time, when, it's our special date
When love will have no longer have to wait.

Happy Birthday Ms Maria

Happy Birthday Ms Maria...My furriend TedEbear helped me write this for you...I want to share this with all of Catster because you are both very special to me and my furmily...

Thank You Ms Maria for being there
When Mom didn't have much time to prepare
Everything seemed to happen so fast
The day we knew it was time I'd past

Thank You for your loving care
The rays of hope that you share
For understanding and compassion freely given'
When someone has lost; but must keep on livin'

We all watch over you day by day
You may see us in the clouds as we play
When you see a beautiful rainbow
Then our love to earth can freely flow

The butterflies bring tender kisses of love
That you thought you were only dreaming of
As another year comes and goes
We are Thankful for the way you chose

Purrrs, White Boots.

White Shoes - A New Angel

This morning Mom was taking her morning walk and talking to us asking us to guide Nanny Ruth to the light and help her cross peacefully...As she was talking to us and walking she looked down the street and saw something laying there with some boys circling it on bicycles...

As she approached the boys took off and Mom crossed the street to see what was there...It was a cat that looked almost like me except it was wearing white shoes instead of white boots....Mom looked around and found some paper and gently pushed kitty off the road onto the grass....Kitty had already joined us....I know because I welcomed it and and named the kitty White Shoes...Mom thinks a car had hit White Shoes earlier and the boys well she shudders to think what they would have done...

White Shoes is now healthy and will never have to cross a dangerous road again to find food or shelter...

Rainbow Bridge Day 2010

Love Mom

Dear White Boots…Today on this Rainbow Bridge day I send up bubbles just for you…Look for the ones with your name on them and catch them and play with them....You showed up on my patio scared but hungry for love..It took some time but you finally began to trust me and you became my friendly visitruder…Summer turned to fall and fall to winter and you were sick..I did not know just how sick you were till that cold February day I took you inside and tried to save you...It was too late and on my birthday you made the journey to the meadow to be greeted by D-Max, Ralphie and so many new friends…You are now safe and healthy never to be forgotten, always loved and living the life that you deserve never to be alone again but surrounded by friends…

Your poem was written by your good friend TedEbear’s Mom Ms Juanita…(Thank you)

High above the rainbow on a cloud we wait
getting a seat early, so we won't be late

April 1st is Rainbow Bridge Day
waiting to hear what our pawrents say

Coming to us in balloons and bubbles
we sure don't want to be any trouble

Hoping they're doing better than the year before
coping with their loss,maybe even loving one more

We know we are missed and won't be replaced
to love another is not to be disgraced

Love Mom

Remembering by TedEbear and his Mommy on my 3 year Bridge- day

My Dear furiend White Boots,
Outta the blue this morning Mommy started to write a poem for you.
I started it in your pressy on your page. Now here is the full poem. I hope you like it.

REMEMBERING....

You may not remember the love of being in someones arms
But a woman fell in love with your lofty charm
She cared for you as best she could
Trust her? Not knowing if you should
She couldn't save you from being sick
But she loved you from afar, that was her trick
She convinced you she intended no harm
But to make you safe and comfortable there on the farm
Your new life too short, but blessed with love
Now, You watch over her, with love, from above.

Hoping precious memories help you through this day of your crossing anniversary 2/19/2010
Mommy Juanita and TedEbear

A letter from Mom to me

Dear White Boots...

I am writing to you this evening because I am not sure how I will be feeling tomorrow morning...2 years ago you went on your first and last car ride with me and Pops...I knew you were sick..I am so sorry I did not know how sick you were...the spring and summer of 2006 you decided that you were going to live on the patio..You came with 2 other cats but they decided to became a couple and they left the patio area....You were lonely and wanted another cat to be friends with...You saw Midnight in the window..you tried to be friends with him but he hissed at you...Because of his delicate health I did not bring you inside when you first came to the patio...

How I regret not taking you inside but at the same time I know that you were happy on your patio hunting and sitting by the pond....You were my Guard cat...We lovingly called you the Friendly Intruder..But you were never an intruder...You were and still are a part of the family...

You had your little file cabinet house and when it got cold you had your heated blankie...Every morning when I got up to take my walk you would greet me and I would feed you and give you fresh water..And oh how you liked those belly rubs....

But you were sick and getting sicker...that cold day I brought you into the house you were so glad to be inside but I waited too long and as we were driving to Dr Steve I told you about D-Max and how 25 months earlier he had made the journey to the meadow and he would be there to greet you along with Ralphie, Baggy, Boo Boo and so many others...

After the Vet tech came back with the news that you had feline aids you crawled up the table to be close to me for one last time....We said good bye to you and told you that you would never be cold or hungry again...Please forgive me for not taking better care of you...You stole a piece of my heart...Tomorrow I will try to remember the day you ate the chips out of the bowl and the day you brought the squirrel to your file cabinet house...the happy memories....Now go find D-Max and chase some butterflies...

Love Mom always and forever

My only Christmas Memory

In my group RBAB we are sharing Christmas memories..Here is what I wrote...

I only had one Christmas with Mom on my patio...It was getting cold and Pops got me a heated blankie for my file cabinet house...

Then one day Mom came out with the most beautiful fleece blankie....She said it was a Christmas present from Midnight's girlfriends Aggie and Maggie just for me...I neve met them and they love Midnight but they also cared enough about me to send me a present....I had a warm place to sleep, plenty of yummy food and fresh water that Mom had to keep filling many times because it was cold and starting to freeze...

On Christmas Eve as I was in my little file cabinet house Mom came out on the patio and was looking up at the stars and talking to someone named D-Max and crying...I heard her talking to him before and knew how much she loved him and missed him..Before she went in she petted me and wished me a Merry Christmas...Little did I know that 2 months later I would be greeted by D-Max when I had my health and youth restored...

I have been tagged

Let me think..I have been tagged by my good pal Cisco..I have to play Truth or Dare and tell you 7 things about me....

1) I found my way to Mom's patio with 2 other cats and they got together and went to live in the field without me leaving me the patio all to myself...
2) I am named White Boots because I have white boots on my legs....
3) I loved my little file cabinet house...I felt safe there...
4) One day hunting I killed a squirrel and took it home to my file cabinet box and left the tail and legs for Mom to find the next morning....
5) Midnight called me the Friendly Intruder....
6) I left home for about a week and Mom does not know where I went and was worried about me....I returned to my file cabinet box one night and never left after that...
7)I am thankful that I did not leave this world alone..Mom was with me and told me that D-Max would greet me along with Ralphie and Baggy and so many other new freinds and I have made many more since joining this group...

Now I am going to tag my friends...
1) Jacy
2) Sedoso
3) Eclipse
4) Remy
5) Nooner
6) Oreo
7) Tanner

15 months ago

It was 15 months ago this afternoon that I made the journey here to the meadow...I was alone living outside till our Mom adopted me and gave me my little file cabinet home on the patio and loved me and took care of me...

I was sick but I hid it and had a good life..When I got sicker Mom tried to save me but it was too late for me to get better..It was my time to come to the meadow and hunt in the lush green fields for fun and not for food..Here no one goes hungry...

Mom talked to me and told me about you D-Max...she knew that you would be the first to greet me and welcome me...I looked for you and there you were just like she said you would be with open paws..You introduced me to so many...Ralphie, Baggy, Lucy, Usdi, Kali..My head was spinning..I never had so many friends in my entire life...

Today I also want to send extra love and hugs down the rainbow slide to Mom..I love you...

Our good friend Baggy's Mom wrote a poem for us...
D-Max and White Boots my special brofurs... from our talks last night I put this on Mom's heart to write for you both

My Mom ....

You were always there to pick me up
I was so tiny I could fit in a cup

You brought me up so big and strong
and taught me the right way all along

I learned from you to be kind
and because of you I never showed my behind...

All along the way you loved me
our love so strong it was meant to be

I’m free as a butterfly now, I can run jump and play
You will always be in my heart Mom, each and every day.

Everything is going to be alright
because I’m that star that shines so bright

Our love is so strong it carries us through
remember Mom, I’m always with you

Written by: Baggy's Mom, Jeri but through the eyes and hearts of D-Max & White Boots, two special guys...

*Baggy wipes tears from his eyes and hugs both brothers with all his love.*

My Perfect Day if I had one more day

I was honored to be Angel of the Week on RBAB this past week...Daisy asked me what would me my perfect day if I had a chance to be home one more day..Here it is....

We kept your question for last..I will go first...If I had a day to come back it would be a warm spring day, the forysthia and lilac bushes would be in full bloom on my patio..The lilacs blooming would be smelling so sweet...Butterflies would be flitting all over the flowers, the sound of the waterfall on the pond would softly fill the air..Mom would be on the patio sitting in her chair watching the fish and I would jump up on her little table and she would rub my belly and share her snacks with me...After spending the day on the patio Mom would bring me dinner and tell me to guard the patio and I would go out to the field and hunt squirrels and mice and then come home to sleep in my little file cabinet house knowing that Mom loves me...
